Abstract: A paper container filling a liquid content which comprises an upper air gap formed therein for sealing solely carbon dioxide or nitrogen gas and carbon dioxide. Thus, a recess is produced on the paper container by utilizing a small pressure reduction in the container generated as a result of carbon dioxide dissolved in the liquid content, and the recess is used as a criterion of deciding the presence of gas substitution, presence of pinhole of the container and the propriety of sealing of the container only by the recess. This container can be fully inspected by the naked eye. Further, a method of filling gas and apparatus for filling the gas in a paper container formed of a synthetic resin layer of aluminum foil or polyethylene mainly with paper by eliminating the abovementioned disadvantages and performing gas substitution merely by adding a simple unit on a filling machine, thereby holding taste, odor and nutrient components of the container contents for 4 or longer months.

Abstract: A method for measuring the concentration of adhesive on the surface of a coating layer which has the steps of irradiating the surface of the coating layer with an ultraviolet ray of the highest peak absorption wavelength of the adhesive, ultraviolet ray of shorter wavelength and ultraviolet ray of longer wavelength, photoelectrically converting the reflected rays and further comparing to calculate them. Thus, this method can be used to measure the concentration of adhesive on the surface of a coating layer and the flat surface distribution of the adhesive by fundamentally measuring with ultraviolet rays. The method is of high reliability despite the presence of gloss or the like.

Abstract: A paper container for containing liquid such as milk and juice is disclosed. The container is formed of a thick paper provided thereon with vertical and horizontal folding lines intersecting each other at right angles. The intersecting portions of the folding lines are such formed as to be different in configurations for a predetermined length. In this way, splits and pin holes can be prevented from occurring when the thick paper is folded along the grooves to build up a container.

Abstract: As opening/closing device to be provided at a mouth of a container such as a paper container, a bottle, a can, etc., in which a lid is provided via a hinge on the inside of a cylindrical pouring mouth made of synthetic resin and a gap space is formed between the pouring mouth and the lid. A metallic film consisting of a metal foil having synthetic resin layers coated on its both surfaces is bonded so as to straddle both the upper surface of the lid and the upper surface of the pouring mouth. Opening of the lid is effected by peeling of the metallic film, and upon closing the lid, the metallic film is pressed from its outer surface so that it may be stuffed in the gap space between the lid and the pouring mouth. Upon making the opening/closing device, an annular protrusion is formed on the top end surface of the pouring mouth, the metallic film is bonded to this annular protrusion and the lid so that the metallic film may be easily peeled off.
